WEL- Life at Spirit Lake

We’ve packed the March events calendar with music, laughs and a little St. Patrick’s Day fun – because if you’re going to wear green, you might as well have something to celebrate while you’re at it. From live music to a myth-busting adventure and a full-on party on the 17th, there’s lots happening.

Grab your calendar, mark your favorites and join us for the fun! 🍀🎉

March is coming in GREEN at WEL-Life at Spirit Lake 🍀🌈

We’ve put together an activity schedule so good even a leprechaun would cancel his treasure hunt to join us. If there’s gold at the end of the rainbow, we’re pretty sure it’s hiding somewhere between Bingo, happy hour and whatever shenanigans our residents have planned next.

Let’s just say … we feel luckier than the Irish with this much fun packed into one month. ☘️

If you hear laughter coming from the building, don’t worry – that’s just what happens when someone forgets to wear green and gets pinched! 🍀

A milestone 50 years together warrants a grand celebration. Gladys & Leon Goodell opted to mark this extraordinary occasion with their loved ones and friends at WEL-Life, featuring entertainment by Daybreak Band and horderves by our very own Jane. The attendees thoroughly enjoyed the festivities, applauding this remarkable couple.

Some jobs are just jobs.

And then there are the ones you didn’t see coming.

Maybe you’ve thought about healthcare but never had the chance to get started. Maybe you’re already a med aide who is ready to enjoy your shift instead of just getting through it. This opportunity at WEL-Life might be your plot twist!

☀️ Days – 6 am to 2 pm
🌅 Evenings – 2 pm to 10 pm

No experience as a CMM? That’s okay. We will train the right candidate. If you’ve got a strong work ethic and a heart for people, we can teach the rest.

Now hiring: Medication Aides (CMMs)! 🚨💊

Some people are just looking for a job… but let’s be real, you’re looking for a job with perks. Sure, we offer competitive pay, a great team and the chance to make a difference in our residents’ lives. But let’s talk about the real bonus – the treats from our kitchen. 🍪🎂

That’s right. Work here and you’ll have access to all the homemade goodies our cooks whip up. Cookies? Yes. Brownies? Of course. A mystery dessert that you take a bite of and immediately question all your past life choices because how have you lived without this before? Absolutely.

We’re looking for certified medication managers (CMMs) to join our crew at WEL-Life Assisted Living in Spirit Lake!

📌 part-time day shift – 6 am to 2 pm

If you’re ready for a job where you’re appreciated, supported and possibly bribed with baked goods, apply today! Call us at 712-336-3553 or stop in – we might even save you a cookie. 😉🍪

Get ready to pasta good time at WEL-Life Spirit Lake 🍝😄

We’re serving up a pasta supper at 5 p.m. Thursday, February 12, and Jane, our dietary manager, has been busy noodling around in the kitchen. 🍜👩‍🍳

She’s been working hard to get everything just right – from the sauce to the sides – so you can carb-load, twirl your fork and say “that’s amore.” ❤️🍝

Come hungry, bring your appetite and don’t be shy about seconds. This is one supper you won’t want to spaghetti away. 😋✨

Friends and family are welcome to join the fun. 👋🍝
We’d also love it if you’d sweeten the deal and bring a dessert to share for our dessert table – because every great pasta night deserves a little extra tirami-swoon (or whatever sweet treat you’d love to share). 🍰😉

Please RSVP by 5 p.m. Monday, February 9, to Connie at 712-336-3553 📞🍽️

Hope you’ll join us – it’s going to be impastable to resist! 🍝🎉

We took a trip to the dramatic Amalfi Coast, one of the most beautiful places in Italy. Home to treasures such as Positano, Amalfi, and countless lemon groves. It was a four day trip with our guide Sophie Nadeau, who took us on famous hikes in the region (the path of the Gods & the Path of the Lemons). We met locals and saw plenty of cats! She took us on a boat ride and even showed us what it was like to take a cooking class. As we watched, we treated ourselves to wine and cheese dip with crackers. It was a very enjoyable afternoon in our new media room!

Thank you for all the kind comments on our post honoring Connie during Activity Professionals Week. She deserves all the praise. She isn't goofing off and letting the compliments go to her head, though. She is hard at work coming up with another month of fun activities. Here's what she is planning for February.

It’s Activity Professionals Week and we couldn’t miss the opportunity to celebrate Connie Mueller, Activity Director at WEL-Life Spirit Lake 🎉💙

Activity Professionals Week recognizes the heart behind daily life in our community. Activity professionals create moments of connection, purpose and joy — from group programs to one-on-one visits – helping residents stay engaged and feel at home every day.

Connie runs a truly robust activity program, with a full calendar of entertainment and enrichment every month. Because of her thoughtful planning, our residents enjoy meaningful opportunities that keep life interesting, engaging and fun – from great field trips and live music to educational programs and special events that welcome friends and family 🎶🚌📚

She’s also a fantastic team player, working closely with our kitchen so events are paired with great food that makes the experience even better 🍰☕

Thank you, Connie, for the time, care and creativity you pour into your work. WEL-Life is a more vibrant place because of you 💙👏
